The station was built on the Nam Kinh Bastion in the west-south of Hue Citadel with the purpose of supplying the court with information on the weather.
The new project, launched on Tuesday, will be conducted by the Hue Relic Conservation Centre and the Sub-Institute of Building Technology and Science. It is part of a larger mission to preserve and embellish parts of the former Hue capital, a site of major historical and cultural importance.
The US$ 190,000 project on Quan Tuong Dai is expected to be completed by August 2013.
